This Management Bulletin provides recent clarification received
from USDA, APB-SFS-98-22, regarding commodity entitlements for
year round sponsors. The regulatory provision contained in Section
225.9(b), Commodity Assistance, of the Summer Food Service Program
(SFSP) applies to all sponsors regardless of when they operate.
Sponsors that are eligible to receive commodities under the SFSP
include those which prepare their own meals, those which contract
with a school food authority for the preparation of meals, and
school food authorities which procure SFSP meals from the same
food service management company from which they procured meals
for the National School Lunch Program during the last school session.

Each eligible sponsor is allowed one offering per year. Receipt
and delivery of commodity allocations are available May through
September for eligible SFSP sponsors. Eligible year round sponsors
may request other arrangements by contacting Amy Bell, Commodity
Consultant, at 916-322-5051.
